Re: triangulation

Trig seems a little bit on the touchy side. You have the problem of the tracking, the angle, and the precision. Being off by a degree could send you very much where you don't want to go. My team discussed this early on, and discarded it. An INS and a gyro chip will be much easier, although a bit pricy, and it's a bit late in the season. Have fun with that. I don't envy your programmer.
